About me
The past 3 years of my career based at Aromatherapy Associates have exercised my multitude of skills and team worker attitude; I have been employed across several departments. Working as Operations Assistant for over 12 months for the Commercial Director and Head of Global Sales I prepared and analysed figures and stock availability. Internally employed as Packaging Designer, I work ed with the Head of NPD producing and updating artwork and design ranges. At present I work on a consultant basis for the Head of NPD, in addition to providing design support for Marketing department at Aromatherapy Associates. Previous to Aromatherapy Associates I worked as PA and Gallery Manager in Modern and Contemporary art galleries. Outside of work I continue to illustrate and create clothing and print ranges sustaining my ambition that I may have my own design company in the future.
